Through participatory activities, we aim to engage people with science, technology, and innovation in an active manner, fostering a higher level of involvement and interaction with others. This paper presents the design process of an activity based on the perspective of public participation and the game PlayDecide, addressing the socio-environmental issue of urban solid waste management. We believe it is important to share this process as a contribution to those who design educational experiences in informal science settings.

Una reflexión acerca de los Museos y Centros de Ciencia en tiempos de pandemia
El año 2020 se recordará por la pandemia de COVID-19 que a su paso trastocó sectores como el cultural y científico. Una de las consecuencias fue el cierre al público de los Museos y Centros de Ciencia, los cuales reaccionaron de forma inmediata y continuaron su labor a través de internet. En este ensayo se reflexiona sobre la reapertura, en el futuro, de los Museos y Centros de Ciencia. Estos, ante una nueva realidad, enfrentarán retos mayúsculos, por ejemplo, la brecha digital en el mundo y, sobre todo, “el tocar”, lo cual se ha vuelto un riesgo sanitario.
